These silver partner issues are distinct from the €2 circulation commemoratives with similar subjects. Surface gold or ruthenium is a treatment of the silver coin, not its bulk composition. The edition quantities apply to the listed presentation.
The Maltese series revisits subjects associated with Malta’s natural heritage in contemporary silver collector coins. These partner-mint designs and physical formats are catalogued separately from circulating €2 coins and from the earlier lira issues.
